(Editor’s Note: Today was a long day for your Warhawk baseball blogger. I didn’t arrive back in Whitewater until 11 p.m. I am going to just blog highlight’s from Monday’s doubleheader sweep at Stout. I’ll also include a WIAC scoreboard and updated standings. I’ll publish several stories Tuesday including features on Danny Putnam and UWW’s No. 3 starting pitcher Justin Lambert)
Danny Putnam and Andrew Eichstaedt combined for a 5 for 9 game-one with 5 RBI leading the Warhawks to a much-needed 11-5 victory in game-one of Monday’s weather-delayed doubleheader.
The Hawks got an outstanding starting pitching performance by sophomore Justin Lambert. The Mount Horeb native gave up just one run - scattering 6 hits while pitching the first six innings.
Meanwhile - Kyle Lee started game-two and scattered 7 hits in five solid innings on the mound leading the conference leading Warhawks to a sweep of Monday’s twinbill in Menomonie. Mathew Roberts and Rob Coe each pitched two innings giving up no runs and just two hits. Hawk pitchers combined for nine strike outs.
Designated hitter Sam Keller had three hits and a pair of RBI to lead Whitewater in the nightcap.. Daniel Putnam, Rob Coe and Jeff Donovan each recorded two hits.
Next up for the Hawks will be a doubleheader vs. Edgewood College beginning at 2:00 pm at Prucha Field.
In the WIAC Monday afternoon...
